Two days be fore her death, however, Molly changed her will, owing to pressure brought to bear upon her by her husband, and his scheming lawyer friend, George Brunt. Sylvia is aware of the bad traits in her brother-in-law's character, and in order to protect the interests of the children, she decides to contest the will, after she has consulted with Philip Waring, a young lawyer or her acquaintance, and for whom she has a decided liking. When Weems finds out the suit will be brought, and that an engagement has been announced between Sylvia and Philip, he arranges a situation which makes it possible for him to prove to Sylvia that Warings only motive for wanting to marry her is to get possession of the money, and he makes the assertion that he can buy Waring on. This he ap parently succeeds in doing by presenting trumped-up evidence that Molly before her death had been engaged in a love af fair with another man, and by pointing out to Philip that if this were to become public It would break Sylvia's heart. Philip agrees to advise Sylvia to with draw her suit without telling her his reason, for thinking that Weems has made good his threat to buy Philip off, Sylvia leaves him In a rage, but later learns the truth. A special-prfce mavlnee will be given Saturday afternoon. The advance seat sale will open next Tuesday morning, No vember 12, at the box office of the theater. "THE HEIR TO THE HOOKAH" Sprightly Comedy at the Marquam, Beginning Thursday Night. Portland audiences have seldom ex pressed more enthusiastic approval of any AmeriVan play than they accorded "The Heir to the Hoorah" on the occa sion of Its second visit to this city last year at the Heilig. This year it will be played for the first time in Portland at popular prices, at the Marquam Grand Theater, for three nights and Saturday matinee, beginning Thursday evening, November 14. It found favor with all sorts and degrees of theater-goers and as a natural consequence played one of the most satisfactory engagements chronicled during the year. The return of this sprightly comedy will be wel comed equally by those who enjoyed the quaint humfcr of Paul Armstrong's char acterization last year, and those who have only been told what they- missed and who now have an opportunity to re pair their sins of omission. The cast last year was one of the best that has been seen here, and like all of those chosen by the late Kirke LaShelle. was remarkable no less for the cleverness of the individual players than for good f - - ?siisfipisiiiiiii 5 ' ' -1 -: t - , RALPH BELMONT, "team work," which was always a char acteristic of the LaShelle companies. Frank Monroe heads the company this year, and in support are most of the men who won Portland favor last year. There have been some changes in the feminine members- of the company, and the qual ified critics of the East say that these changes have been to the improvement of the ensemble. Alice Murrell seems to have won golden opinions In the East for her interpretation, of the role of Gerald ine, and Helene Lackaye, the handsome sister of Wilton Lackaye, has been much praised for her sprightly interpretation of the role of Kate Brandon, the mine owning widow. 'THE ALASKAN" COMING SOON John Cort's New Comic Opera at Heilig Theater Next Sunday.

Alaska, and near Nome are the scenes shown. Musically the piece scored a big popular hit during its metropolitan performances. The peo ple of its story are ail indigenous to gold mine prospecting and mining camps. En semble introductions include Esqulmo girls, miner giiMs. , camp belles and, of course, miners themselves, as well as the visitors and hangers-on peculiar to gold countries. "My Totem Pole," one of its costume ensemble numbers, was voted the biggest new thing In a song that the .comic opera of New York has shown in a dozen years. "Arlee," another song hit of the piece is said to be almost equally attractive. . The performances here will be givei) with the New York cast and production intact. Harry Girard, who wrote the score Of the opera, appears in its title role. Mr. Girard will be recalled as the leading singer of Lulu Glaser's company when she presented "Dolly Varden." Joseph Blethen, the author of the book and lyr ics, is a well-known Western writer. "The Chinook" and other plays of West ern life came from his pen.

MUSICAL EVENT OF SEASON Madam Emma Calve AV111 Sing In Portland December 5. Announcement is made that Madame Emma Calve, probably the greatest; of liv ing sopranos, will visit this city at the AT THE LYRIC. Heilig Theater Thursday evening.' Decem ber 5, at the head of one of the most ex pensive concert organizations which ever toured this country. The concert will be the biggest musical event of the season, and elabbrate preparations are already under way to make it a never-to-be-forgotten success. This city will be one of the 40 to be vis ited in this country, Cuba and Mexico dur ing the coming season. The great diva has positively refused to appear more than 40 times during the five month's, com mencing with October, that she Is under contract with John Cort, who is directing her tour in conjunction with J. Saunders Gordon. When it was realized that only 40 concerts could be given it became a very difficult matter, indeed, to decide upon the cities in which she would appear. A process of elimination had to he in dulged in and the preference was given to those cities which have shown In the past that they possess a sufficient num ber of music-lovers to insure the success of a concert such as Madame Calve and her associates are capable of giving. This city came under, this classification, be cause of the success in the past of similar ventures here, and it is earnestly hoped that It will live up to the reputation which it has attained throughout the country. . While the tour is not announced as a "farewell" tour, there is a very -strong possibility that Madame Calve will never again make such an extensive jaunt through this country. She would have ap peared in grand opera in New York dur ing the coming season were it not for her - "Ml A ?. v 1 - : ifMfrfm contract with Mr. Cort, which she wished to have put- aside after it had been as signed, but he was obdurate in his re fusal. She does not enjoy the turmoil of travel, and with all the great capitals of the world anxious to hear her again, in grand opera, there is every reason to be lieve that she will not again agree to make a concert tour. Mail orders from this city will be re ceived beginning November 25. Address letters and make money orders payable to W. T. Pangle, manager Heilig Theater. ."THE ROYAL CHEF." Tuneful Musical Comedy Success Coming to the Heilig Theater. "The Royal Chef," with William J. Mc Carthy in the stellar role, will make Its first appearance in this city at the Heilig Theater. November 21. 22 and 23. The list of artists contains the names of numer ous people of thorough training, wide ex- perience and reputation, and, taken as I a whole, point to a salary list very ex pensive, including Herbert Carter. Oscar Ragland, George Porter Smith. Franklin Fox. Gertrude Hutcheson. Dorothy Rae, La Belle. Laurette and. Dixey Lillard. As for the mounting of the play itself, none but the highest praise can be given. It is said to disclose a fine appreciation of scenic values and an artistic sense of correctness. The entire production throughout was newly built in New York for this "season's tour, and displays unusual fidelity to artistic standards. The second act, showing the interior of the Rajah's palace, gives the appearance of architectural solidity. . distance and correct perspective, while the first act is a beautiful and rich picture of Ori entalism. Every property down to the smallest detail is in keeping with the surroundings. The play is costumed with remarkable richness, and, better still, the players know how to wear them. No better example of lighting effects has ever been employed in spectacular pro duction. "Woman Against Woman." The close of the successful run of "Woman Against Woman" at the Lyric will close tonight, so there are but two chances for the public to see it left. Either go to the matinee or to tonight's performance. .This is the show hit of the week. IULTIES' 26,000 MILE TOUR Canada's Famous Band Will Play at the Armory.

' While with John Drew Miss Irving found her greatest successes In "The Marriage of Convenience," "One Sum mer's Day." "The Liars" and "The Tyr anny of Tears."
